Preface
Purpose
The purpose of the EPTS glossary of terms is to facilitate industry use of event processing technology by providing a common language for developing applications and software infrastructure that use event processing concepts.  The event processing glossary has three goals:

Accelerate the learning of the event processing [...]

This second article follows on from part 1 on the history of complex event processing
CEP is the logical and obvious next step in the development of event processing that was described in our first article.   The explosion of event traffic over the past twenty years has created a new set of demands. [...]

Event-driven applications that are constructed as compositions of Web applications offer significant benefits. Just as mashups compose Web services to create added value, so too can compositions of event-driven applications create added value.
This article first reviews concepts about event driven applications, sense & respond systems, and [...]

The demand for processing higher level events, often called business events,has expanded rapidly over the past three or four years. In writing a short history of the development of CEP to meet the demands of these new markets, I have needed to refer often to a set of concepts that forms the core [...]

StreamBase Systems has teamed with researchers from Oracle Corporation to research complex event processing (CEP) techniques and advance convergence on standard language implementation issues in an effort to continue to support the growth of CEP by applying standards that will allow enterprise developers to quickly understand, learn, and apply stream processing technologies.
“Towards A Streaming SQL [...]

Researchers at Radboud University in The Netherlands were able to monitor the body temperature of participants at the world’s largest marching event using RFID technology. Volunteer participants in the annual Four Days Marches of Nijmegen swallowed an RFID-based temperature sensor that measured their internal temperature and helped researchers identify potential [...]
